The Philly Chests? or other names for new franchise..
There isn’t often a new professional sports franchise started in the USA, but when it is, we all want to weigh in and see what it should be named. Fox Soccer Channel’s key announcers have a great point when they say “Let’s not call it Philadelphia FC or Philadelphia SC.” So boring. So uninteresting. So confusing for people who are not familiar with FC and SC. This is not England.
The official word is that fans will get to vote on the name, but so far they are not saying where or how or what names can be voted on. So I suggest you just email them with your better ideas. Let me know too about your better ideas, after all I was the big influence behind the San Jose Clash being renamed the Earthquakes. I think the new franchise will get a different opinion when they hear from people who do not live in Philly itself… and even they might want to use the much easier Philly abbreviation.
Fox announcers are rooting for The Liberty or something like that. Great idea, except the team is quickly building a new stadium and their home base will actually be in the city of Chester. I wonder if they have enough influence to move the liberty bell to Chester? Hmmm.. probably not.. it is soccer after all… and this is the USA where they think football is not played with feet on the ball.
For the ladies team it is easy: The Philly Belles
